A Lot or a Little?

The parents' guide to what's in this movie.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this take on Cheaper by the Dozen, starring Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff, updates the large-blended-family premise of the 1950 and 2003 versions by adding social justice themes. Expect mild language ("damn," "butt," "stupid," "suck," "dumb," "jerk," "oh my God"), kissing, flirtation, and discussion of "college girls being free with their bodies" and a woman's backside. Adults mention beer and liquor, and a close relative is in and out of rehab. The family comes into money and upgrades to an expensive lifestyle that turns out not to be better. Parents buy kids pricey gifts, but the main messages are that family members watch out for one another and support one another through thick and thin. The film also touches frequently on racism, racial profiling (like cops pulling Black men over, or women of color being mistaken for nannies), and the realities of White privilege.

Children's Movies Need to be for Children

For a PG movie I did not appreciate that it had the parents climbing on top of each other so much. Why was that needed? We stopped watching when the sex talk was brought up since my daughters are only 4 and just turned 8 a couple days ago. I don't understand why there should be any adult themes in a children's movie but I would not reccomend this to familes especially with younger kids. I can not speak for story since we didn't finish it but half way through my husband commented that there was no storyline whatsoever and I agree.

Political movie based on the movie Yours, Mine, Ours

I wish Disney didn’t buy into all the politics. They did the same thing with Turning Red. So much extra stuff that didn’t need to be in a family movie. I came from a broken home and took in my niece when her mom couldn’t care for her but this movie wasn’t relatable. You can show how degrading racism is but not like this. Make it touch their hearts not cringe.

What's the Story?

Paul (Zach Braff) and Zoey (Gabrielle Union) Baker are a married couple at the head of a large blended family in CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN. Together, they parent 10 kids, including some they each brought to the marriage, some they had together, one they adopted as a baby, and one they've taken in. They also bring their ex-spouses into the mix, including flighty part-time babysitter Kate (Erika Christensen) and wealthy former pro-baller Dom (Timon Kyle Durrett). Paul is White and Zoey is Black, and their kids are White, Black, or mixed race, a blend that offers its own challenges in modern society. When the Bakers are offered a substantial sum of money to launch a line of sauces and then franchise their breakfast joint, they take the money and upgrade their lives. But their new fancy lifestyle doesn't suit all of the kids, and the franchise starts keeping Paul away from home too much.

Is It Any Good?

This movie's heart is in the right place, but the latest version of this familiar concept is a bit of a clunker. Right from the start, something feels off in Cheaper by the Dozen. The film bounces from family scene to family scene, not getting to any serious story or conflict until at least a third of the way in. Are the kids cute? Of course, and some of their antics are heartwarming and/or funny. A few sequences hit their mark, like when dad Paul tries to dress cool in his kids' clothes for a business meeting (and he walks right out of his son's too-big sneakers), but many of the attempts at comedy will entertain only the very youngest of viewers.

This makes the repetition of serious and justified themes of racism incoherent, as they're not tailored to such a young audience. There are also a few places where actions don't seem to match the values that this film aims to convey, like parents regularly giving kids very expensive gifts. Braff and Union are both solid actors, but they don't have any real chemistry together and feel miscast (especially Braff). The kids are unrealistically compliant, and the extravagant new life the family builds overnight using business seed money is dubious. The secondary cast is fine, with a few of the child actors standing out. The dozen have been done better before.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about the creative, ideological, and financial reasons why companies remake movies that have been done before, like Cheaper by the Dozen. If you've seen any of the other versions of this film, how do they compare?

  • Dom tells Paul that he can't understand racism because he hasn't lived it, and Zoey says the same thing to Paul about privilege. Do you agree with these characters? Why, or why not?

  • The family decides they liked their humbler life better than the new, luxurious one. Does money always make you happier? Why, or why not?
